If you thought passports existed merely to get you out of drizzly old Blighty you'd be wrong - for one day only they can get you a free burger too.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen, in Trinity Square, is celebrating the launch of its new brisket burger by giving away 50 of them on Monday (October 16).

All you need to do to claim your freebie is to be one of the first 50 diners to present an EU passport in-store.

The restaurant chain (with their tongue very firmly in cheek) has invented the the brisket burger in response to Brexit negotiations saying it "brings together not only the very best Europe has to offer in terms of ingredients, but also unity to our fair isle over a soft and juicy brisket".

The prime salt beef brisket is joined by melted Edam cheese, paprika onions, pickled cucumber, signature house relish and burgernaise, all topped off with a pretzel bun.

Tim Molema, Head of Food at GBK, says: “At a time when the nation is divided over politics, we’re bringing together a few delicious European flavours in one mouth-watering burger with the power to end even the bitterest feud.

The Brisket Burger special is available at GBK restaurants nationwide for £9.95 or £14.94 for the Brisket Bundle (which includes fries and a beer. Available until the November14).
